I think that was the best episode of the Wire yet. I'm still processing the awesomeness of the first 10 - 15 minutes, and it's not like there was any awesomeness to spare afterwards.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

I haven't even seen it yet and I'm all tantalized.
It's interesting that Simon got so much grief over the faux serial murder storyline but just as pure narrative it does manage to pull so many different strata of the city together into one story.
One way or another it had to be a sensational story that the paper was covering.
::keeps fingers crossed that Dukie gets a job somewhere::

MAN, watch it asap. I'm all a-twitter yet. I might have to watch it again before I go to sleep tonight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, I saw it: "How my hair look Mike?"

I started crying when Namond the Debator showed up and didn't stop until the end. And Hec just got me going again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Was it resonant for anybody else that Snoop's line quoted at the beginning of the episode was a direct quote from the movie Unforgiven? "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."

I've never seen Unforgiven.
Oh! I have a question! Clearly, Augie? the evidence room guy has shown up before given the way Daniels interacted with him. But I don't remember him at all.
Does anyone?

The evidence control guy: That's Pat what's-his-face, one of the drunks from Season 1, the one who couldn't throw himself down the stairs.
Resonance to a certain cowboy actor's speech: Hell yeah, although you'll notice they reversed the shooting. Eastwood says the line about deserve to Hackman before killing him. Snoop says it to Mike to confirm his assumptions. Someone over at The House Next Door noted that Snoop thought she was in a cowboy movie, but Michael knew he was in the Godfather.

Evidence control guy: I have no memory of that at all. Guess I need to rewatch from the beginning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am torn by seeing Dukie (that spelling still doesn't seem right to me, but I'll go with it) in the previews for next week. On the one hand, I can hope he ends up with something better than disappearing into the Arabbers (seeing his reaction to seeing the guy tying off in his new home was heart-breaking) but I am really fearing that something worse is in store. But Namond! Bunny! Bubbles!
